Vernon Kay, host of ABC’s upcoming “Million Dollar Mind Game” and one of the most popular television presenters in the United Kingdom, and Olympian Tanith Belbin, the most decorated U.S. Ice Dancer in history, will serve as host and color commentator, respectively, of ABC’s highly anticipated new series, “Skating with the Stars,” from BBC Worldwide Productions. The series premieres Monday, November 22 (9:11-11:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.

All six pairs will take to the ice with their professional partners for the first time in front of a live audience, with the pairs performing high-paced ice dancing moves and dazzling figure skating routines. The pairs will need to be perfectly in sync as they speed across the unforgiving ice. The pair with the lowest ranking following the judges’ scores and votes from the public will be sent home the following week.

Walt Disney Animation Studios has just released this new clip from its upcoming release Tangled in which Mother Gothel (voiced by Donna Murphy) returns to the tower in her usual fashion. It’s the eve of Rapunzel’s eighteenth birthday and it’s clear that her priorities don’t seem to align too well with the only mother she’s ever known.

Walt Disney Animation Studios has debuted the first official trailer for its 2011 release, Winnie the Pooh. In the film, the first big-screen Pooh adventure in more than 35 years from Walt Disney Animation Studios who at last returns to the Hundred Acre Wood. With the charm, wit and whimsy of the original featurettes, this all-new movie reunites audiences with the philosophical “bear of very little brain” and friends Tigger, Rabbit, Piglet, Kanga, Roo—and last, but certainly not least, Eeyore, who has lost his tail. “Well a tail is either there or it isn’t there,” said Pooh. “And yours isn’t… there.” Owl sends the whole gang on a wild quest to save Christopher Robin from an imaginary culprit. It turns out to be a very busy day for a bear who simply set out to find some hunny. Inspired by five stories from A.A. Milne’s books in Disney’s classic, hand-drawn art style.

Walt Disney Animation Studios has unveiled a new viral video in the form of ‘Smolder by Flynn,’ a send-up of those advertisements for fragrances that nobody outside France seems to quite understand. It includes a tiny bit of new footage, but essentially just recycles most of the original teaser trailer footage in a whole new way.

Through Apple’s iTunes trailer site, a new clip titled ‘Snuggly Duckling’ has also been released. In the scene, Flynn, who had been blackmailed into taking Rapunzel out of the tower to see the floating lanterns, decides to scare Rapunzel straight (straight back into the tower, that is) by introducing her to the home of a ragtag bunch of seemingly menacing thugs at a tavern called The Snuggly Duckling.

Yesterday we were proudly one of the first to report that free tickets for the 2010 Disney Parks Christmas Day parade had become available for the Walt Disney World portion taping on December 3 and 4. Within several hours, registration for the event had closed.

However our source contacted us later on in the day and guests who reach out to the email address provided by the registration are confirming that the Walt Disney World Resort is stating that the tickets issued were only intended for cast members and parade volunteers, not the general public.

Walt Disney World has been responding to all ticket inquiries with the following boilerplate response:
